DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ANIMATION BASED LEARNING MEDIA TO OPTIMIZE DISTANCE LEARNING

Abstract

The evolution of distance learning demands innovative instructional media capable of delivering material effectively, particularly for conceptual subjects such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This study aims to develop an educational animation-based learning medium that presents course content in a visual, engaging, and easily comprehensible format for students within an online learning context. The urgency of this research stems from the low effectiveness of conveying HCI material through conventional media such as plain text or static slide presentations which are often too abstract and difficult to grasp without visual support. The research employs the ADDIE development model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The final product is a n educational animation video that systematically and clearly presents content from Module 1 of the HCI course. Validation was conducted by subject matter experts and media specialists, followed by a limited trial involving students. The results indicate that the developed media is highly feasible in terms of content, design, and delivery. The animation successfully assists students in better understanding foundational HCI concepts. This research contributes to overcoming challenges in online content delivery and enhances the readability and visual appeal of learning materials.
